There are a couple of more grips, I personally struggle with a couple of chords in this song as of yet, it kinda feels like I'm trying to rip my hand in two due to lack of dexterity and laziness.
Just a little pointer, you can play a huge amount of songs if you manage to learn these four chords in and out, I'm currently in the process though, hopefully I will be sharing some of my own videos soon.

This site is an absolutely great recource for learning guitar.
I personally play mediocre at best, but that is all due to my own laziness.
Another little tip:
A great way to start up is just playing around with the chords C, D, G and Em, randomly transittion between them. These chords makes up so many songs.

I also recommend checking out Martyzongs on youtube, talented teacher.
